Colorimetry is a science that studies and develops color to obtain a scale of values.

common. In each one, a numerical scale is used that goes in levels: from the number 1, which is the

Saturation
In color theory, saturation, hue, or purity is the intensity of a specific hue.
based on the purity of the color; a very saturated color has a vibrant and intense color, while a
less saturated color looks more faded and gray. Without saturation, a color becomes a
shade of gray.

The saturation of a color is determined by a combination of its light intensity and the
distribution of its different wavelengths in the spectrum of colors. The purest color is

REFLECTIONS
Highlights are a permanent coloring technique that involves lightening areas of your hair.
to achieve a nice contrast. ... Respecting the natural color of the hair is, therefore, ensuring the
health of your subject. You should also know that reflections encompass numerous tones, but not
too many colors.

MATIZ
The toning is ideal for depicting the yellow lights of blonde hair or the orange reflections of the
red hairstyles. Changing the hair color is not just a matter of applying a new dye, as
applying it over a previous color can result in an unwanted shade and
becomes a great mistake.

MIX
How to prepare the hair bleach mixture. ... A concentration of 20 volumes is the
indicated both to cover gray hair and to lighten the hair by up to two shades. A
A concentration of 30 volumes is used to lighten three shades above the base color.

PEROXIDE
Hydrogen peroxide (bleach water) is an ingredient that is present in most
commercial hair lightening notes. It's an economical and simple way to lighten your hair or
highlight your reflections.
CORTEX
The innermost part is the medulla and is made up of keratin cells. The middle layer is the
cortex (or cortex) which is where the pigment (melanin) that determines the color of the hair is fixed.
The cuticle is the outer part of the hair fiber and it gives the hair a good appearance.

CUTICLE
The cuticle, which is also known as the outer layer of the hair, is the covering that protects.
the cortex, the most elastic and resistant part of the hair. The cuticle is formed by scales and can
be damaged by chemical color treatments.

MEDULLA
The stem consists of three layers. The pith, which consists of keratinized cells, loosely
united, and that is present only in the thickest hair (guard hair). The space
Intercellular is full of air. The medulla is surrounded by the cortex, strongly attached.

MELANIN
Melanin and hair color. The pigments responsible for hair color are the
melanins, which are produced by specialized cells called melanocytes. Just like
it happens in the skin, melanin accumulates inside these cells in specific sites that
they are called melanosomes.

PIGMENTATION

the more eumelanin is added, the darker the hair color; the more pheomelanin, the lighter.

DIAGRAMMING OF CUTS
The hair is implanted on a more or less spherical surface, depending on the shape of the
skull, and to cut it, it is necessary to section through different lines in order to execute
perfectly any type of technique.

tissues of the human body, including organs, muscles, hormones, tendons, ligaments, nails
and hair.

AMMONIA
It is a nitrogen chemical compound with the chemical formula NH3. It is a colorless gas with a
characteristic repulsive odor. Ammonia significantly contributes to the needs
nutritional of terrestrial organisms as a precursor to fertilizers. Directly or
indirectly, ammonia is also an important element for the synthesis of many
drugs and is used in various commercial cleaning products. Despite its widespread use, the
